On Saturday, George Kirby said he "screwed up" with Friday's postgame comments.

"Obviously I screwed up. That's not me," Kirby said Saturday. "Skip's always got to pry that ball out of my hands. Just super uncharacteristic of me as a player and who I am out on that mound. I love competing. Like I said, I just screwed up."

Manager Scott Servais said he talked to Kirby "for a long time" Friday night and Saturday morning.

"He said 'Skip, that's not who I am,'" Servais said Saturday. "We all know George is a very fiery -- he's a competitor. He's learning. It's an opportunity to learn moving forward. The biggest thing with George is, we move forward. Love having him out there."

"When you make mistakes that only affects yourself, it's not that big of a deal," Servais said. "But once it starts affecting other people, that's kind of when you take notice. I think this is one George will learn from."
